Coriolanus. Let the first budger die the other's slave,
And the gods doom him after!

Tullus Aufidius. If I fly, CORIOLANUS,
Holloa me like a hare.
745

Coriolanus. Within these three hours, Tullus,
Alone I fought in your Corioli walls,
And made what work I pleased: 'tis not my blood
Wherein thou seest me mask'd; for thy revenge
Wrench up thy power to the highest.
750

Tullus Aufidius. Wert thou the Hector
That was the whip of your bragg'd progeny,
Thou shouldst not scape me here.
[They fight, and certain Volsces come to the aid of]AUFIDIUS. CORIOLANUS fights till they be driven in
755breathless]
Officious, and not valiant, you have shamed me
In your condemned seconds.
